Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation believes adding Carrolltown exercise to your lifestyle is an advantageous behavior that ultimately enhances your life. Let’s get moving!
EXERCISE MOTIVATORS
Culture can be encouraging of physical activity…or not. Researchers analyzed a variety of motivators for physical activity and exercise. Since being physically active is a result of self-determination, they described the mix of autonomy, competence, ego, task, and relatedness of these in the motivation to exercise. American subjects were more autonomous, task oriented, and physically active than Turkish subjects reminding researchers and ultimately us clinicians to customize exercise to the patient and his/her interests. (1) Tell Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation what motivates you! Simple? Fast? At-home? Out of the house? Maybe some mindfulness? To enrich the exercise effort, including mindfulness appears promising. Researchers found though that many have misconceptions or no concept of what mindfulness is or how it is valuable to mental and overall health. One study looked at the effectiveness of physical activity and mindfulness activities in preventing mental health issues and decided that it held promise. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation appreciates those kinds of benefits!
BENEFITS FOR COGNITION, PAIN RELIEF WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
A pill maybe?! None of us would confess to wanting a pill to be physically fit…or would we? Of course not! As the pharmacological world looks for drugs to enhance cognitive function in the aging folks, researchers have also reported on nutrition, diet, probiotics, cognitive training, and physical activity, exercise, even dancing – ballroom, aerobic and Latin - as being useful. (3) Significant motivators can be healthy lifestyle behaviors combined with chiropractic care. Treating and relieving chronic pain – linked to reduced brain gray matter and impaired cognitive function - was found to bring back normal brain function. (4) That’s what Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation does: treat chronic pain with chiropractic care featuring spinal manipulation.
OLDER FOLKS AND YOUNG KIDS
Curious researchers took on the question of older adults’ goals, motivations, and self-determination motivators to follow a healthy lifestyle and participate in activities to support that lifestyle like exercise and eating well. Factors like personality and goal-setting habits were suggested influencers. (5) Even in kids, researchers saw that behaviors like breakfast eating, exercise, and sleep patterns affected their healthy lifestyle. Not eating breakfast in the morning – 11% of kids in a recent study did this – was associated with sleep duration, bedtime, and physical activity. 9.5% of kids said they had poor sleep. 24.9% did not sleep more than the suggested 9 hours. Girls were not as physically active. Sad news: Such unhealthy habits lessened children’s hand-eye coordination and attention. Good] news: Better sleep quality bettered their reaction time in a visual attention exam.
